I find this surprising. I live in Louisville and it seems pretty gay, but not more so than some other cities where I've lived like Oakland or Austin.
I wonder how many people were in the survey. I didn't see it mentioned in the article.

They make this shit up. Nobody ever fact checks sources on these kind of articles.

Here is the study, which was not linked in the article.

Based on its representation in the Senate, I refuse to believe South Carolina isn’t the gayest state.

Any stats related to this are invalid. How much a percentage of these people were “queer” heterosexual females with purple hair?

Did all the gay guys move there to be near tasty Andy Beshear?

Just from my Facebook friend list, North Carolina and Ohio must be up there.

15.4% of 18-24 are LGBT per the study and yet only 4.2% of 35-49 (and it goes down from there).
There is a lot of "queer" identifying going on here which won't last into middle age (or past 30 probably).
[quote]Sexual orientation is measured with one question, “Which of the following best represents how you think of yourself?” with response options, “Gay or lesbian; Straight, that is, not gay; Bisexual; Something else; I don’t know the answer” or respondents could refuse to answer. To assess transgender and cisgender status, the BRFSS module asks, “Do you consider yourself to be transgender?” with response options, “Yes; No; Don’t Know/not sure” or respondents could refuse to answer.
They did ask it by L/G/B/T but did not give breakouts that I saw.

Louisville might be gay AF, but don't take a step outside its borders!

That Kentucky result is such a weird outlier, I don't know what to really make of it. This particular study seems to be based on a larger study, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, so I wonder if somebody screwed up the number somewhere. States around it seem to come in around 5% or 6% and then Kentucky jumps to 10.5%? It makes me wonder about the whole thing. And like r8, I would really like to see a percentage for L, G, or B, and compare it to T or "other."

Look R9, the closest I've got to a vagina in 49 years is when I was born, so don't give me "you are a secret troll". The study marks a huge drop-off. I'm not saying being gay is a phase because it isn't. I've sucked dicks since I was 16. I think a lot of people are saying they are "queer" or "bi" when the closest same sex encounter they've had in their life was watching Brokeback Mountain.
Lots of virtue signaling here.

The fact that you use the phrase "virtue signaling" proves you're a Republican

R16 No, we’re seeing it now on both sides with the recent antisemitism. Apparently it decided to jump the fence.

Funny you should say that-- DC was number 1 on the list, then Kentucky. The Newsweek sharticle was misleading. Still, it's interesting that Kentucky is number 2.
